Lakota People's Law Project: Black Hills Uranium Is Dangerous

The Administration's rush to mine Black Hills uranium destroys people and the sacred. The Lakota people never consented to uranium extraction from treaty land. We’ve fought it for over 20 years and we’re still fighting. Tell Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum directly. We need him to reverse the Pe’ Sla drilling permit, pull Dewey-Burdock uranium project (50 miles from Pine Ridge, in the aquifer above our reservation) off the fast-track program, and suspend all extractive permits on treaty lands until real consultation and a full environmental review are done. It’s fast and easy to make all three demands in one customizable message to Burgum online HERE.
